Hello,

Please pardon me if this is not the right forum. If you can point me to the right forum that would be great.

I have two weeks to TOEFL and I have no clue about TOEFL is.

I have a GMAT score of 700 - Q48; V38; IR 5 and AWA 6). But I have given this a year back. Now balancing between work, MBA apps, newly set up house and a newly set up family.

So I have very limited time so please suggest the smartest way to prepare for the TOEFL for a score of 110+.

Thank you.

The TOEFL test is a test of English for speakers of foreign languages. It's put out by ETS. Generally speaking, schools would like to see students score at least 105.

Just as most people start their study of the GMAT by tacking a practice test, so too most people start their study of TOEFL by taking a practice test. The best practice test you can get is from ETS itself. You can get these tests at https://toeflpractice.ets.org/ but they're not free.

The TOEFL test measures 4 skills-reading, writing, speaking, and listening. There are no grammar questions. Looking at your verbal and AWA score, it's pretty likely that you'll score quite well in reading and writing. I cannot know how you will score in listening or speaking.

The ETS test will give you scores in each section. There are a variety of products that help people get better, though personally I've had the best success with Barron's.

Good luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
